To Melissa from Montreal: I worked for Hardee's for many years and started as a biscuit maker. We mixed our own batches by hand back then. Ice cold buttermilk, flour, shortening, a "biscuit kit" and then for cinnamon raisin biscuits we added a box of raisins and frozen cinnamon. The cinnamon was like sheets that were all broken up that came in a box in the freezer. Whenever I smell buttermilk to this day I think of sticking my hands into that freezing dough at 3 or 4 in the morning. :) Several years later they had everything pre mixed. Then they had the premade biscuits.
